OR LIMITED WARRANTY, CONTACT YOUR CISCO REPRESENTATIVE FOR A COPY.
The following information is for FCC compliance of Class A devices: This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class A digital device, pursuant
to part 15 of the FCC rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful interference when the equipment is operated in a commercial
environment. This equipment generates, uses, and can radiate radio-frequency energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with the instruction manual, may cause
harmful interference to radio communications. Operation of this equipment in a residential area is likely to cause harmful interference, in which case users will be required
to correct the interference at their own expense.
The following information is for FCC compliance of Class B devices: The equipment described in this manual generates and may radiate radio-frequency energy. If it is not
installed in accordance with Cisco’s installation instructions, it may cause interference with radio and television reception. This equipment has been tested and found to
comply with the limits for a Class B digital device in accordance with the specifications in part 15 of the FCC rules. These specifications are designed to provide reasonable
protection against such interference in a residential installation. However, there is no guarantee that interference will not occur in a particular installation.
Modifying the equipment without Cisco’s written authorization may result in the equipment no longer complying with FCC requirements for Class A or Class B digital
devices. In that event, your right to use the equipment may be limited by FCC regulations, and you may be required to correct any interference to radio or television
communications at your own expense.
You can determine whether your equipment is causing interference by turning it off. If the interference stops, it was probably caused by the Cisco equipment or one of its
peripheral devices. If the equipment causes interference to radio or television reception, try to correct the interference by using one or more of the following measures:
• Turn the television or radio antenna until the interference stops.
• Move the equipment to one side or the other of the television or radio.
• Move the equipment farther away from the television or radio.
• Plug the equipment into an outlet that is on a different circuit from the television or radio. (That is, make certain the equipment and the television or radio are on circuits
controlled by different circuit breakers or fuses.)
Modifications to this product not authorized by Cisco Systems, Inc. could void the FCC approval and negate your authority to operate the product.

Introduction to Cisco Interface Cards
Cisco interface cards are classified according to the technologies they support. For example, WAN
interface cards (WICs) support WAN technologies, such as Gigabit Ethernet, and voice interface cards
(VICs) support voice technologies. Voice/WAN interface cards (VWICs) can support voice, data, and
voice and data applications, depending on the capabilities of the router in which the VWIC is installed.
High-speed WAN interface cards (HWIC) provide expanded LAN and WAN capabilities, such as
Gigabit Ethernet and Ethernet switching.
Note
HWICs are supported on Cisco 1800 series (modular), Cisco 2800 series, and Cisco 3800 series routers.

Cisco Interface Cards for Cisco Access Routers
Cisco Access Routers and Cisco Interface Cards
Cisco interface cards are available in the following two form factors to provide greater modularity and
functionality for users:
•
Single-wide interface cards (see Figure 1)
•
Double-wide interface cards (see Figure 2)
Single-wide interface cards can be installed in interface card slots on supported Cisco access routers, in
1- or 2-slot network modules to be installed in network module slots on supported Cisco access routers,
and in interface card slots on Cisco 1800 (modular) series, Cisco 2800 series, and Cisco 3800 series
routers. See Figure 1 for a sample single-wide interface card.

Always check that power is disconnected from a circuit.
•
Remove possible hazards from your work area, such as damp floors, ungrounded power extension
cables, or missing safety grounds.
•
If an electrical accident occurs, proceed as follows:
– Use caution; do not become a victim yourself.
– Turn off power to the room using the emergency power-off switch.
– If possible, send another person to get medical aid. Otherwise, determine the condition of the
victim and then call for help.
– Determine if the person needs rescue breathing or external cardiac compressions; then take
appropriate action.
Preventing Electrostatic Discharge Damage
Electrostatic discharge can damage equipment and impair electrical circuitry. Electrostatic discharge
occurs when electronic printed circuit cards, such as those used in Cisco interface cards, are improperly
handled and can result in complete or intermittent equipment failure. Always observe the following
electrostatic discharge damage (ESD) prevention procedures when installing, removing, and replacing
Cisco network modules, Cisco interface cards, Cisco expansion modules, or other electronic printed
circuit cards:
•
Make sure that the router chassis is electrically connected to earth ground.
•
Wear an ESD-preventive wrist strap, and make sure that it makes good contact with your skin.
OL-12842-01

System (ICS) 7750, and contains the following subsections:
•
Preparing to Install Interface Cards on the Cisco ICS 7750, page 21
•
Installing Interface Cards on the Cisco ICS 7750, page 22
Cisco interface cards are installed in the Cisco ICS 7750 through either the multiservice route processor
(MRP) or analog station interface 81 (ASI 81) cards. For more information about these cards, see the
“Processor Cards Feature Summary” chapter in the Cisco ICS 7750 System Description document.
The MRP has two interface card slots (slot 0, slot 1) and the ASI 81 has one interface card slot (slot 1).
Preparing to Install Interface Cards on the Cisco ICS 7750
Before installing an interface card into the MRP or ASI 81, perform the following tasks:
Timesaver
Tip
•
Verify that the MRP or ASI 81 card has the minimum Cisco IOS release required to support your
interface card.
•
Determine whether additional voice traffic due to installed voice or voice/WAN interface cards will
require additional digital signal processors (DSPs). If additional DSPs are required, install up to two
additional packet voice data modules (PVDMs) on each MRP or ASI 81 card to provide more
processing power.
To configure digital voice ports correctly, any additional PVDMs must be installed before the interface
card is installed on the MRP or ASI 81 card, or the Cisco ICS 7750 will not be recognized as a voice port.
To see a list of voice ports on the Cisco ICS 7750, use the Cisco IOS show running-config or show diag
commands.

the following steps:
Step 1
If the MRP or ASI 81 is already installed in the chassis, back up the card configuration using the
ICS System Manager application. For more information on backing up card configurations, refer to the
ICS System Manager online help system.
If the MRP or ASI 81 is not installed in the chassis, go to Step 7.
Caution
Do not power down the chassis using the power supply switch or by unplugging the power supply. Doing
so may cause the Cisco ICS 7750 to lose important configuration data and interrupts any applications or
functions running on other cards in the chassis.
Timesaver
You do not have to turn off power to the Cisco ICS 7750 for this procedure. If the Cisco ICS 7750 is
running, do not power down the entire chassis by using the chassis power supply switch or by unplugging
the power supply.
Step 2
Shut down operations on the MRP or ASI 81 card by pressing the SHTDN button on the card faceplate.
The status LED on the card blinks; after several minutes, the status LED goes off. Wait for the status
LED to go off before continuing to Step 3.
Step 3
Put on an ESD-preventive wrist strap and attach the wrist strap to an unpainted chassis surface to
establish a ground.
Caution
To prevent ESD damage, handle the cards only by the edges, and use an ESD-preventive wrist strap or
other grounding device.
Step 4
Disconnect any cables attached to the front of the interface card and secure them out of the way, using
cable ties if necessary.
Step 5
Loosen the lock-down screws at the top and bottom of the MRP or ASI 81 card.
Step 6
Press the upper and lower extractor levers away from the chassis at the same time, disengaging the MRP
or ASI 81 card from the Cisco ICS 7750 backplane. Pull the card away from the backplane about 1 inch
(2.5 cm) to disengage it from the backplane. Do not completely remove the card from the chassis.
Caution
Always use the extractor levers to disengage or seat cards. Failure to use the levers can cause erroneous
system error messages indicating a card failure.
Caution
Do not use the extractor levers to lift or support the weight of the cards.
Caution
Devices on system cards can get hot during operation. To remove a card, hold the card by the faceplate
and bottom edge. Allow the card to cool before touching any other part of it or placing it an antistatic
bag.

Certain Cisco interface cards support a variety of additional modules, such as small form-factor
pluggable modules (SFPs).
Installing and Removing SFPs
SFPs are hot-swappable Ethernet interfaces that can be installed directly into Cisco interface cards. The
following Cisco interface cards currently support SFPs:
•
HWIC-1GE-SFP
This section describes a generic installation and removal procedure. SFPs use various latch designs (see
Figure 31) to secure the module in the SFP port.
Note
Latch designs are not linked to SFP model or technology type; for information on the SFP technology
type and model, see the label on the side of the SFP.
To install an SFP in a Cisco interface card, perform the following steps:
Step 1
Install the interface card in the router. (See the “Installing Cisco Interface Cards in Cisco Access
Routers” section on page 5.)
Warning
Because invisible laser radiation may be emitted from the aperture of the port when no fiber cable is
connected, avoid exposure to laser radiation and do not stare into open apertures. Statement 125
Step 2
Slide the SFP into the housing on the interface card until it is locked into position. (See Figure 30.) The
SFP is designed to prevent improper insertion.
Tip
If the SFP uses a bale-clasp latch (see Figure 31), the bale-clasp handle should be on top of the SFP in
the closed position for proper seating of the SFP module.

•
A synchronous modem, DSU or CSU, or other DCE, if connecting to a digital WAN line
The 1-port serial WIC has a DB-60 serial port, whereas the 2-port serial WIC and the 2-port A/S WIC
have Cisco smart serial ports. Use the correct cable for your serial WIC.
The serial cable attached to a smart serial port determines the port’s electrical interface type and mode
(DTE or DCE).
Tip
A cable providing surge protection (CAB-SS-SURGE) is also available from Cisco Systems. See the
“For connection limitations, see the “1- and 2-Port Serial WICs” section on page 2, and the “2-Port
Asynchronous/Synchronous Serial WIC” section on page 2.” section on page 5 for instructions on
connecting the surge protector cable.
Types of Cables for 1- and 2-Port Serial WICs
Six types of serial cables (also called serial adapter cables or serial transition cables) are available from
Cisco Systems for 1- and 2-port serial WICs:
•
EIA/TIA-232 serial cable assembly
•
EIA/TIA-449 serial cable assembly
•
V.35 serial cable assembly
•
X.21 serial cable assembly
•
EIA/TIA-530 serial cable assembly
•
EIA/TIA-530A serial cable assembly
All serial cables provide a universal plug at the interface card end. The network end of each cable
provides the physical connectors most commonly used for the interface. For example, the network end
of the EIA/TIA-232 serial cable is a DB-25 connector, the most widely used EIA/TIA-232 connector.
All serial interface types except EIA-530 are available in DTE or DCE format: DTE with a plug
connector at the network end and DCE with a receptacle at the network end. V.35 is available in either
mode with either gender at the network end. EIA-530 is available in DTE only.

Prerequisites for Connecting an ISDN BRI S/T WIC to a Network
Before connecting a WIC to the network, ensure that the WIC is installed in the router, the equipment is
properly grounded, and you have the proper cables for connecting the WIC to the network. This section
describes the preparation necessary before connecting an ISDN BRI S/T WIC to the network.
Installing a Cisco ISDN BRI S/T WAN Interface Card
Install the Cisco WIC according to the instructions in Installing Cisco Interface Cards in Cisco Access
Routers.
Note
Older WIC36-1B-S/T, WIC36-1B-U, CPAWIC36-1B-S/T, or CPAWIC36-1B-U interface cards mount
only in the W1 slot of a 2-slot network module and provide a single BRI interface. Newer WIC-1B-S/T
or WIC-1B-U interface cards can mount in either slot of a 2-slot network module. For more information
on BRI network modules, see the Cisco Network Modules Hardware Installation Guide.
Grounding
Ensure that the equipment you are working with is properly grounded. For instructions on grounding
your WIC, refer to Installing Cisco Interface Cards in Cisco Access Routers.
Cables
Use a straight-through RJ-48C-to-RJ-48C BRI cable (not included) to connect an ISDN BRI S/T WIC
to a network.
Setting Jumpers on ISDN BRI WICs
The WIC-1B-S/T, WIC-1B-S/T-V3, and WIC-1B-U interface cards do not have termination jumpers.
Note
For long-distance point-to-point configuration, and for the last station in point-to-multipoint
configuration, use an external 100-ohm terminator.

ISDN BRI WAN Interface Cards
ISDN BRI S/T WAN Interface Cards
The WIC36-1B-S/T, WIC36-1B-U, CPAWIC36-1B-S/T, and CPAWIC36-1B-U interface cards have two
termination jumpers, labeled J1 and J2. Before installing a WIC36-1B-S/T, WIC36-1B-U,
CPAWIC36-1B-S/T, or CPAWIC36-1B-U interface card, ensure that the termination jumpers are set
appropriately for your installation.
The jumpers are factory-configured in the B position. Keep the jumpers in this position to use the ISDN
BRI WIC in a point-to-point connection or as the last device on the line of a passive-bus connection. Set
the termination jumpers to the A position to use the ISDN BRI WIC in a passive-bus connection in which
it is not the last device on the line. The jumpers are shown in Figure 47.

Prerequisites for Connecting an ISDN BRI U WIC to a Network
Before connecting a WIC to the network, ensure that the WIC is installed in the router, the equipment is
properly grounded, and you have the proper cables for connecting the WIC to the network. This section
describes the preparation necessary before connecting an ISDN BRI U WIC to the network.
Installing a Cisco ISDN BRI S/T WAN Interface Card
Install the Cisco WIC according to the instructions in Installing Cisco Interface Cards in Cisco Access
Routers.
Note
Older WIC36-1B-S/T, WIC36-1B-U, CPAWIC36-1B-S/T, or CPAWIC36-1B-U interface cards mount
only in the W1 slot of a 2-slot network module and provide a single BRI interface. Newer WIC-1B-S/T
or WIC-1B-U interface cards can mount in either slot of a 2-slot network module. For more information
on BRI network modules, see the Cisco Network Modules Hardware Installation Guide.
Grounding
For instructions on grounding your WIC, refer to Installing Cisco Interface Cards in Cisco Access
Routers.
Cables
Use a straight-through RJ-48C-to-RJ-48C BRI cable (not included) to connect an ISDN BRI U WIC to
a network.
Setting Jumpers on ISDN BRI WICs
The WIC-1B-S/T and WIC-1B-U interface cards do not have termination jumpers. The WIC36-1B-S/T,
WIC36-1B-U, CPAWIC36-1B-S/T, and CPAWIC36-1B-U interface cards have two termination jumpers,
labeled J1 and J2. Before installing a WIC36-1B-S/T, WIC36-1B-U, CPAWIC36-1B-S/T, or
CPAWIC36-1B-U interface card, ensure that the termination jumpers are set appropriately for your
installation.
OL-12844-01

ISDN BRI U WAN Interface Cards
The jumpers are factory-configured in the B position. Keep the jumpers in this position to use the ISDN
BRI WIC in a point-to-point connection or as the last device on the line of a passive-bus connection. Set
the termination jumpers to the A position to use the ISDN BRI WIC in a passive-bus connection in which
it is not the last device on the line. The jumpers are shown in Figure 52.

Warning
To comply with the Telcordia GR-1089 NEBS standard for electromagnetic compatibility and safety,
connect the 1-port ISDN BRI WIC with U interface, version 2 (WIC-1B-U-V2) only to intra-building or
unexposed wiring or cable. The intra-building port(s) of the equipment or subassembly must not be
metallically connected to interfaces that connect to the OSP or its wiring. These interfaces are
designed for use as intra-building interfaces only (Type 2 or Type 4 ports as described in
GR-1089-CORE, Issue 4) and require isolation from the exposed OSP cabling. The addition of Primary
Protectors is not sufficient protection in order to connect these interfaces metallically to OSP wiring.
Step 2
Connect one end of a straight-through RJ-48C-to-RJ-48C cable to the RJ-48C port on the ISDN BRI U
WIC.
Step 3

Enabling Wetting Current on T1/FT1 DSU/CSU WICs
The WIC-1DSU-T1-V2 interface card supports wetting current. Wetting current is a small amount of
electrical current (60 to 140 milliamps) sent from the central office to the card to prevent the corrosion
of electrical contacts in the card’s network connection.
Wetting current may be enabled or disabled by the user. It is controlled by the placement of a jumper on
connector J2 on the card. Figure 60 shows the J2 connector and the jumper.
The feature is enabled by connecting pins 1 and 2 of the J2 connector with a jumper. It is disabled either
by removing the jumper or by connecting pins 2 and 3 of the J2 connector.
The card is shipped with the jumper connecting pins 2 and 3 on the J2 connector, which disables the
wetting current.

ADSL WICs
The DSL wide area network (WAN) interface cards (WICs) support one DSL line between a single
customer premises equipment (CPE) subscriber and a central office.
Asymmetric digital subscriber line (ADSL) WICs are available in three variations:
•
ADSL over POTS (WIC-1ADSL)
•
ADSL over POTS with Dying Gasp support (WIC-1ADSL-DG)
•
ADSL over ISDN with Dying Gasp support (WIC-1ADSL-I-DG)
The ADSL over POTS interface card is commonly used to provide ADSL services over ordinary
telephone lines. The ADSL-over-ISDN interface card is used to provide ADSL services in those areas
of the world that have extensive ISDN backbones already in place.

DSL Interface Cards
G.SHDSL WICs
G.SHDSL WICs
The Multirate Symmetrical High-Speed Digital Subscriber Line (G.SHDSL) cards support two or more
DSL lines.
The G.SHDSL WICs are available in the following variations:
Caution
•
The WIC-1SHDSL is a 1-port interface card that supports one pair of copper wire (2-wire
G.SHDSL). It is compatible with Cisco G.SHDSL line cards in the Cisco 6015, Cisco 6130,
Cisco 6160, or Cisco 6260 digital subscriber line access multiplexer (DSLAM).
•
The WIC-1SHDSL-V2 and WIC-1SHDSL-V3 interface cards are 1-port cards. They support all
G.SHDSL features, and supply two twisted pairs of wires to implement 4-wire (two-line) G.SHDSL.
These WICs support dying gasp and wetting current. They also provide a higher symmetrical
bandwidth and longer reach than 2-wire G.SHDSL.
To comply with the Telcordia GR-1089 NEBS standard for electromagnetic compatibility and safety,
connect the 1-port G.SHDSL interface card (WIC-1SHDSL-V2 and WIC-1SHDSL-V3) only to
intra-building or non-exposed wiring or cabling. The intrabuilding cable must be shielded and the shield
must be grounded at both ends.
LEDs on G.SHDSL WICs
The ADSL and G.SHDSL WICs have three LEDs, which are shown in Figure 63 and are described in
Table 15.

DSL Interface Cards
G.SHDSL High Speed WICs (HWICs)
G.SHDSL High Speed WICs (HWICs)
The G.SHDSL high speed WICs (HWICs) are available in the following variations:
•
The G.SHDSL HWICs support up to four pairs of DSL: two inverse multiplexing over ATM (IMA)
lines, and two ATM segmentation and reassembly (SAR) lines. The four DSL pairs are bundled in
groups and configured in the Cisco IOS command-line interface (CLI) by using the dsl-group
command.
– The HWIC-2SHDSL provides two ports of connectivity through one RJ-11 connector. It
supports 1-Pair groups or 2-Pair groups.
– The HWIC-4SHDSL provides four ports of connectivity through one RJ-45 connector. It
combines four ports of data into one line or two lines with either inverse multiplexing over ATM
(IMA) groups or M-pair groups, and it supports 1-Pair groups or 2-Pair groups.
Note
The Cisco HWIC-2SHDSL provides support for the Dying Gasp feature; however, the
Cisco HWIC-4SHDSL does not provide support for this feature. The term dying gasp refers to power
status as defined in ITU-T standard G.991.2, section 7.1.2.5.3.

Warning
Step 2
Confirm that the router is turned off.
To comply with the Telcordia GR-1089 NEBS standard for electromagnetic compatibility and safety,
connect the HWIC-2SHDSL and HWIC-4SHDSL interface cards only to intra-building or unexposed
wiring or cable. The intra-building port(s) of the equipment or subassembly must not be metallically
connected to interfaces that connect to the OSP or its wiring. These interfaces are designed for use
as intra-building interfaces only (Type 2 or Type 4 ports as described in GR-1089-CORE, Issue 4) and
require isolation from the exposed OSP cabling. The addition of Primary Protectors is not sufficient
protection in order to connect these interfaces metallically to OSP wiring.
Connect one end of the cable to the ADSL or G.SHDSL port on the card.

Using POTS Splitters and Microfilters with an ADSL-over-POTS
WIC (WIC-1ADSL)
POTS splitters and microfilters apply to the ADSL-over-POTS WIC only. They are used on telephone
lines to ensure voice- and data-call quality. POTS splitters result in the best data and voice performance
when the router and the telephone are used on the same telephone line.
POTS Splitters
A POTS splitter (also called a splitter) is installed on a telephone line that is connected to both data
(high-frequency) and voice (low-frequency) devices. The splitter routes the high-frequency and
low-frequency signals on the telephone line to the correct device. Signals intended for the router can
disrupt voice calls; signals intended for voice calls can affect router operation.
Most splitters must be installed by the telephone company; however, some splitters can be installed by
the customer. If you are not sure what type of splitter to use, contact your service provider.

Microfilters
Microfilters are installed on telephones to improve voice-call quality when voice and data equipment are
using the same telephone line (twisted pair). You should use microfilters only when the two following
conditions exist:
•
The documentation for the telephone you are using with the router states that microfilters should be
used with the phone.
•
Poor telephone call quality can be resolved by installing a microfilter on the phone line.
Figure 75 shows one type of microfilter.

Common Splitter and Microfilter Configurations
This section describes the most common scenarios for using splitters and microfilters. The scenarios are
listed from most common to least common.
Telephone Company-Installed Splitter
This scenario is described below and illustrated in Figure 76.
•
The telephone company has provisioned a single copper pair to be used by both the telephone
(POTS) service and the router with a DSL interface card, so a POTS splitter must be installed.
•
The splitter is installed by the telephone company on the customer premises. This type of splitter is
also referred to as a network interface device (NID).
•
The router and telephone are on separate lines (twisted pair) to the splitter.
•
The router and telephone share the same telephone line (twisted pair) to the telephone company.

Voice Interface Cards
Revised: 6/7/07, OL-12847-01
Overview
Voice network modules convert telephone voice signals into a form that can be transmitted over an IP
network, and have no connectors. Voice interface cards (VICs) provide the connection to the telephone
equipment or network.

Voice Interface Cards
Pinout and Cabling Specifications
Warning
To avoid electric shock, do not connect safety extra-low voltage (SELV) circuits to telephone-network
voltage (TNV) circuits. LAN ports contain SELV circuits, and WAN ports contain TNV circuits. Some
LAN and WAN ports both use RJ-45 connectors. Use caution when connecting cables.
Warning
To reduce the risk of fire, use only No. 26 AWG or larger telecommunication line cord.
Warning
Hazardous network voltages are present in WAN ports regardless of whether power to the unit is OFF
or ON. To avoid electric shock, use caution when working near WAN ports. When detaching cables,
detach the end away from the unit first.
Cisco 1700 Series Routers
Grounding on a Cisco 1700 series router is done on the router chassis itself, not on the voice interface
cards. For information on chassis grounding on Cisco 1700 series routers, see the hardware installation
guide for your router.
Cisco 2600 Series, Cisco 3600 Series, and Cisco 3700 Series Routers
The requirements in this section apply to only the Cisco 2600 series, Cisco 3600 series, and Cisco 3700
series routers.
The cards in this chapter are suitable for exposed plant lead connection. However, the host router chassis
must have a permanent protective earth connection before you connect a voice interface card to an
exposed plant lead. Make sure that a permanent earth connection is in place before installing the card.
If you find that a router chassis does not have an earth connection and you do not have a grounding kit,
take one of the following actions:
•
Order and install a NEBS Level 3/ETSI Compliance Kit.
•
Install an equivalent permanent protective earth connection, using the method described in the
installation guide Installing the Grounding Lug on Cisco 2600 and Cisco 3600 Series Routers.
Cisco ICS 7750
The Cisco ICS 7750 chassis has a grounding lug that needs to be properly connected using a green and
yellow 14 American Wire Gauge (AWG) grounding wire. See the “Installing the Cisco ICS 7750”
chapter in the Cisco ICS 7750 Hardware Installation Guide.
Pinout and Cabling Specifications
Note
Refer to the Cisco Modular Access Router Specifications for network-end connectors and pinouts of the
cables connecting voice cards. Look under the type of interface card.

Voice Interface Cards
Foreign Exchange Station (FXS) Interface Cards
Foreign Exchange Station (FXS) Interface Cards
A Foreign Exchange Station (FXS) interface connects directly to a standard telephone, fax machine, or
similar device. This interface supplies ringing voltage, dial tone, and so on to the station. The ports are
shown in Figure 79, Figure 80, and Figure 81.
Caution
To comply with the Telcordia GR-1089 NEBS standard for electromagnetic compatibility and safety,
connect the 2-port FXS cards (VIC-2FXS and VIC2-2FXS) and 4-port FXS/DID cards (VIC-4FXS/DID)
only to intrabuilding or non-exposed wiring or cabling. The intrabuilding cable must be shielded and the
shield must be grounded at both ends.
Note
Each port on the 4-port FXS/DID VIC can be configured as either Foreign Exchange Station (FXS) or
Direct Inward Dial (DID) when it is used with phones with a Ringer Equivalence Number (REN) load
of 1 or less.
If the REN load on any port is greater than 1, all four ports must be configured as either FXS or DID.
For information about using analog DID with the 4-port FXS/DID VIC, see the “Analog Direct Inward
Dial (DID) Interface Cards” section on page 13.
Note
Cisco 2600XM series, Cisco 2691, Cisco 2800 series, Cisco 3600 series, Cisco 3700 series, and
Cisco 3800 series routers support DID on the 4-port FXS/DID cards in Cisco IOS Release 12.3(14)T and
later.
Note
The Cisco 1751 router can support three 4-port FXS/DID VICs, up to a maximum of four DID ports. The
Cisco 1760 router can support four 4-port FXS/DID VICs, up to a maximum of eight DID ports.
Note
The Cisco ICS 7750 also supports 8 FXS ports on the analog station interface 81 (ASI 81), and 16 FXS
ports on the ASI 160. See the “Processor Cards Feature Summary” chapter in the Cisco ICS 7750 System

A Foreign Exchange Office (FXO) interface connects local calls to a central office or PBX. This is the
interface a standard telephone provides. This type of card is illustrated in Figure 83, Figure 84, and
Figure 85.
The VIC-2FXO and VIC-2FXO-M1 interface cards are intended for use in North America (United
States, Canada, and Mexico).
The VIC-2FXO-EU and VIC-2FXO-M2 interface cards are intended for use in Europe.

Setting Jumpers on the 2-Port FXO Card
Note
This information does not apply to the VIC2-2FXO card.
The FXO voice interface card includes two jumper headers, W3 and W4, to set loop-start or ground-start
mode. One jumper configures each FXO port. The default setting is loop-start, which should be
satisfactory in most installations. In this setting, jumpers are placed over positions 2 and 3 of headers
W3 and W4.
Most modern central office equipment, such as DMS-100 and 5ESS switches, provides calling party
control (CPC) and Ring on Seize on loop-start lines. CPC allows quicker disconnection, and Ring on
Seize minimizes glare (collision of inbound and outbound calls on the same interface).
If your central office does not provide these features on loop-start, you may want to configure the FXO
card for ground-start operation instead by moving the jumpers to positions 1 and 2.
For proper operation, both jumpers on the VIC-2FXO card must be configured identically.
Note
This setting does not apply to VIC-2FXO-EU and VIC-2FXO-M2 interface cards.

Connecting ISDN BRI Interface Cards
Use a straight-through RJ-45 cable to connect ISDN BRI cards to the ISDN network through a telephone
wall outlet or other device.
Caution
To prevent damage to the router, be sure to connect the BRI cable to the BRI connector only, and not to
any other RJ-45 connector.
To connect the 2-port ISDN BRI card to the router, follow these steps:
Step 1
Caution
Confirm that the router is still turned off.
To comply with the Telcordia GR-1089 NEBS standard for electromagnetic compatibility and safety,
connect the 2-port ISDN BRI card (VIC2-2BRI-NT/TE) only to intra-building or non-exposed wiring or
cabling. The intrabuilding cable must be shielded and the shield must be grounded at both ends.

Multiflex Trunk Interface Cards
Step 4
Connect the other end of the cable to a telephone wall outlet or to a PBX.
Multiflex Trunk Interface Cards
Multiflex trunk interface cards support generic 1- or 2-port T1 or E1 trunk interfaces for voice, data, and
integrated voice and data applications. These cards provide basic structured and unstructured service for
T1 or E1 networks.
They can be used as trunk interfaces for voice and data services, as fractional n x 64-kbps service for
WANs (Frame Relay or leased line), or for time-division multiplexing (TDM) drop-and-insert (voice and
data integration) services.
Multiflex trunk interface cards provide voice and data access to the PSTN domain through TDM ports,
and include an integrated channel service unit/data service unit (CSU/DSU).
Some 2-port multiflex trunk interface cards also support the drop-and-insert process, which adds data to
a T1 or E1 data stream, or terminates data from a T1 or E1 data stream to other devices connected to the
drop-and-insert equipment.
Caution
When both ports on a VWIC-2MFT-T1, VWIC-2MFT-E1, VWIC-2MFT-G703, or VWIC-2MFT-E1-DI
interface card are configured as clock source line, then they must be set to the same clock source. If they
are not set to the same clock source, timing slips can occur. Each port on the VWIC2-2MFT-T1/E1 and
VWIC2-2MFT-G703 interface cards can be set to independent clock sources for data applications.

Analog Modem WAN Interface Cards
Understanding Interface Numbering on Analog Modem WICs
Understanding Interface Numbering on Analog Modem WICs
Cisco IOS software identifies each modem uniquely by its slot number and port number.
Some Cisco IOS configuration commands identify asynchronous ports by an interface number (or a line
number, which is the same as the interface number). The interface number of a port on an 1-port or 2-port
analog WAN interface card is related to the slot number where the card is installed and the number of
the port in the card.
Slot numbering conventions for Cisco interface cards are explained in the “Interface Card Slots
Available on Cisco Access Routers” section on page -8.
Ports in the 1- and 2-port analog modem WAN interface cards are numbered in the same pattern as slot
numbers, beginning at 0 at the lower right and continuing from right to left.
The interface number of a port is determined in the following way:
interface-number = (32 x slot-number) + port-number + 1
For example, modem port 1 in slot 1 corresponds to interface number (32 x 1) + 1 + 1 = 34. This is also
the line number for the port. Port 1 in slot 1 is always assigned interface number 34, regardless of what
is in slot 0. If you move the card from slot 1 to a different slot, however, its interface numbers change.
Table 29 shows the range of interface numbers available for each type of analog modem card in each
router slot. (Interface 0 is automatically assigned to the console.)

WIC-4ESW Card
This section describes the 4-port 10/100BASE-TX Ethernet switch interface card (WIC-4ESW) and how
to connect it to a network.
The following subsections are included:
•
WIC-4ESW Interface Card Port Numbering, page 2
•
WIC-4ESW Interface Card Processor Requirements, page 3
•
WIC-4ESW Interface Card Supported Standards, page 3
•
WIC-4ESW Interface Card Platform Limitations, page 3
The WIC-4ESW interface card is a Layer 2 Ethernet switch with Layer 3 routing capability. (Layer 3
routing is forwarded to the host, and is not actually performed at the switch.) The ports autosense the
speed (10 Mbps or 100 Mbps) and duplex mode (full- or half-duplex) of the device to which it is
connected and then operates at the same speed and in the same duplex mode.

Caution
Note
To comply with the Telcordia GR-1089 NEBS standard for electromagnetic compatibility and safety,
connect the 4-port 10/100BASE-TX Ethernet switch interface card (WIC-4ESW) only to intra-building
or non-exposed wiring or cabling. The intrabuilding cable must be shielded and the shield must be
grounded at both ends.
The show vtp status command shows the maximum number of VLANs supported by the router.
Although the router supports more VLANs, the WIC-4ESW interface card supports a maximum of 16
VLANs.
There are no new or modified commands for use with the WIC-4ESW interface card. All commands used
with the switch are documented in the Cisco IOS command reference publications.

WIC-4ESW Interface Card LED
The LNK (physical layer link) LED is on when the Cisco IOS software recognizes the switch and the
connection is up. The ACT (activity) LED indicates that data is being transmitted or received on the slot.
Additional information on the features of the card is provided in the 4-Port Ethernet Switch
Configuration Notes for the Cisco 1700 Series Routers document.
WIC-4ESW Interface Card Port Numbering
Port numbers identify the interfaces on the modules and interface cards installed in the router. Modules
and interface cards are identified by interface type, slot number, a forward slash (/), and the port number.
For example, F0/0 denotes the first Fast Ethernet port of the interface card, installed in slot 0 of the
router.
The first port on the WIC-4ESW is always identified as “1.” For the Cisco 1721 router, the ports are
referred to as FastEthernet1 to FastEthernet4, no matter in what slot the card is installed.
On the Cisco 1751 router and the Cisco 1760 router, the Fast Ethernet interfaces on WIC-4ESW are
addressed as F<slot>/1 through F<slot>/4, depending in what slot the card is installed. (In this document,
the ports will be referred to as F1 through F4.)

WIC-1ENET Requirements
This section describes the requirements and supported standards for the WIC-1ENET card.
WIC-1ENET Memory Requirements
To run Cisco IOS images that support the WIC-1ENET card, the router must have a minimum amount
of Flash memory and dynamic RAM (DRAM). For details on the memory requirements for each image,
refer to Release Notes for the Cisco 1700 Series Routers for Cisco IOS Release 12.2(4)T.
WIC-1ENET Software Requirements
The WIC-1ENET card requires Cisco IOS Release 12.2(2)XJ or later if the card is installed in any WIC
slot other than slot 0 or if more than one card is installed.
The card can be used with Cisco IOS Release 12.2(4)T, but the card must be installed in slot 0 and only
one WIC-1ENET card can be installed in the router.
WIC-1ENET Interface Card Port Numbering
Port numbers identify the interfaces on the modules and interface cards installed in the router. Port
numbers begin at 0 for each slot, and continue from right to left. Modules and interface cards are
identified by interface type, slot number, a forward slash (/), and the port number. For example, E0/0
denotes the first Ethernet port of the interface card installed in slot 0 of the router.
On the Ethernet interface on the Cisco 1720 router is E0. The interface on the WIC-1ENET is addressed
as E1.
On the Cisco 1750 router, the Ethernet interface on the router is E0/0. The interface on the WIC-1ENET
is addressed as E<slot>/1.
WIC-1ENET Interface Card Router Processor Requirements
The MPC 860 microprocessor (revision B5 or later) in the Cisco 1700 series router is required for using
the WIC-1ENET card.
The processor version information is displayed at bootup. You can also verify the processor revision by
entering the show version command at the Cisco IOS command-line interface Router# prompt.
WIC-1ENET Supported Standards
The IEEE 802.3 Ethernet standards and 10BASE-T Category 3, 4, and 5 UTP cable distances up to 328
feet (100 meters) are supported.
OL-12849-01

LAN Interface Cards
Supported Platforms
WIC-1ENET Full-Duplex and Half-Duplex
The WIC-1ENET is set to half-duplex mode by default, and it does not autosense the mode of another
device attached to the port. If you set the card to full-duplex operation, you must also set the device to
which the port is attached to full-duplex mode.
Use the full-duplex command to put the Ethernet interface into full-duplex operation. The interface can
be put into half-duplex mode by entering the no full-duplex command.
You can also use the half-duplex command to put the Ethernet interface into half-duplex operation, the
default state of the Ethernet interface.
To verify the interface state, enter a show interface command as follows:
1750#show interface Ethernet 0
Ethernet0 is up, line protocol is up
Hardware is PQUICC Ethernet, address is 0001.64ff.ef6a (bia 0001.64ff.ef6a)

Cisco 10/100BASE-T Ethernet Switch HWICs
The Cisco 10/100BASE-T Ethernet switch HWIC is available as a 4-port single-wide HWIC
(HWIC-4ESW), and as an (8+1)-port double-wide HWIC (HWIC-D-9ESW), providing Layer 2
switching for Cisco modular access routers.
Caution
To comply with the Telcordia GR-1089 NEBS standard for electromagnetic compatibility and safety,
connect the 4-port single-wide HWIC (HWIC-4ESW), 4-port single-wide HWIC with PoE
(HWIC-4ESW-POE), (8+1)-port double-wide HWIC (HWIC-D-9ESW), and (8+1)-port double-wide
HWIC with PoE (HWIC-D-9ESW-POE) only to intra-building or non-exposed wiring or cabling. The
intrabuilding cable must be shielded and the shield must be grounded at both ends.
OL-12850-01

10/100BASE-T Ethernet Switch High-Speed WAN Interface Cards
Cisco 10/100BASE-T Ethernet Switch HWICs
Note
Cisco 10/100BASE-T Ethernet switch HWICs can be inserted into HWIC slots only. They are not
designed to fit into WIC/VIC slots.
The Cisco 10/100BASE-T Ethernet switch HWIC provides Layer 2 switching for traffic between one
port on the HWIC and any other port on the same HWIC. The HWIC also supports Layer 3 traffic to and
from the HWIC and any of the other platform interfaces. Traffic between different VLANs on the switch
is routed through the router platform.
Two Cisco 10/100BASE-T Ethernet switch HWICs can be stacked in a router chassis to provide
expanded switching capability. See the “Stacking of Cisco 10/100BASE-T Ethernet Switch HWICs”
section on page 7 for a detailed description.
Each version of the Cisco 10/100BASE-T Ethernet switch HWIC is capable of providing –48 volts of
inline power through its ports. Inline power is used to provide power to an IP phone or to a wireless
access point attached to a port.
Note
The HWIC-D-9ESW card provides inline power through only eight of its ports, ports 0 through 7. The
ninth port (port 8) is intended to be a stacking port, and as such, does not support inline power.
To provide inline power, an HWIC must be provisioned with an optional daughter card that distributes
inline power. Inline power is provided by a –48 volt power supply within the router. The daughter card
distributes the –48 volt power to the ports of the HWIC.
Note
In order for the HWIC to distribute inline power, the router must be provisioned with an optional –48
volt power supply.
Cisco 10/100BASE-T Ethernet Switch HWIC LEDs
The Cisco 10/100BASE-T Ethernet switch HWIC uses two LEDs per port to indicate link status and
inline power status. See Figure 109, Figure 110, and Table 30 for a description of these LEDs.

HWIC with PoE (HWIC-D-9ESW-POE) only to intra-building or non-exposed wiring or cabling. The
intrabuilding cable must be shielded and the shield must be grounded at both ends.
Using the appropriate cables, connect the card to your system.
•
On the HWIC-4ESW card, all four ports support Auto-MDIX, so both straight-through and
crossover cables can be used.
•
On the HWIC-D-9ESW card, ports 0 through 7 support Auto-MDIX, so both straight-through and
crossover cables may be used. Port 8 supports Auto-MDIX only when configured in Auto mode.
Power up the router.

10/100BASE-T Ethernet Switch High-Speed WAN Interface Cards
Stacking of Cisco 10/100BASE-T Ethernet Switch HWICs
Stacking of Cisco 10/100BASE-T Ethernet Switch HWICs
Stacking is the connection of two Ethernet switch HWICs resident in the same chassis so that they
behave as a single switch. Stacking is accomplished by daisy-chaining the two cards together with an
external RJ-45 crossover cable that is connected to the specified stacking port on each switch.
When a chassis is populated with two Ethernet switch HWICs, the user must configure the cards to
operate in stacked mode.
Note
There is no option to unstack two Ethernet switch HWICs. When two Ethernet switch HWICs are in the
same chassis, they can operate only in stacked mode. If you configure the cards to operate unstacked,
they will not operate correctly.
You must designate one port on each switch to be the stacking port. On the HWIC-4ESW card, this port
is nominally the first port (port 0), although any port can be chosen. On the HWIC-D-9ESW card, this
port is nominally the ninth port (port 8), although any port can be chosen. We recommend the use of port
8 as the stacking port, because it has been designed as an extra port on the HWIC-D-9ESW card and does
not provide inline power.
Note
Only one port on an Ethernet switch HWIC can be configured as a stacking port.
All combinations of Ethernet switch HWICs may be stacked: two HWIC-D-9ESW cards, an
HWIC-D-9ESW card with an HWIC-4ESW card, or two HWIC-4ESW cards.
See the Configuration Guidelines for HWIC-4ESW and HWIC-D-9ESW Interface Cards document for
information on how to configure stacking ports.

Connecting Fast Ethernet HWICs to a Network
Connecting Fast Ethernet HWICs to a Network
To connect a Fast Ethernet HWIC to the network, do the following procedure:
Step 1
Confirm that the router is powered down.
Warning
To comply with the Telcordia GR-1089 NEBS standard for electromagnetic compatibility and safety,
connect the HWIC-1FE and HWIC-2FE interface cards only to intra-building or unexposed wiring or
cable. The intrabuilding cable must be shielded and the shield must be grounded at both ends. The
intra-building port(s) of the equipment or subassembly must not be metallically connected to
interfaces that connect to the OSP or its wiring. These interfaces are designed for use as
intra-building interfaces only (Type 2 or Type 4 ports as described in GR-1089-CORE, Issue 4) and
require isolation from the exposed OSP cabling. The addition of Primary Protectors is not sufficient
protection in order to connect these interfaces metallically to OSP wiring.
Step 2
Insert the Fast Ethernet HWIC into an HWIC slot on the router. (See Chapter , “Installing Cisco Interface
Cards in Cisco Access Routers.”)
Note
Step 3
Caution
Step 4
Insert Fast Ethernet HWICs into HWIC slots only. They do not fit into WIC/VIC slots.
Using the appropriate cables, connect the HWIC to your system.
To comply with the Telcordia GR-1089 NEBS standard for electromagnetic compatibility and safety,
connect the 1-port HWIC (HWIC-1FE) and 2-port HWIC (HWIC-2FE) only to intrabuilding or
nonexposed wiring or cabling.
•
For 10BASE-T operation, Category 3, 4, or 5 UTP cable may be used, for distances of up to
328 feet (100 meters).
•
For 100BASE-TX operation, Category 5 UTP cable is required, for distances of up to
328 feet (100 meters).
•
The HWICs support Auto-MDIX, so either straight-through or crossover cable can be used.
Power up the router.

Installing Small Form-Factor Pluggable Modules into Cisco
Gigabit Ethernet High-Speed WAN Interface Cards
Small form-factor pluggable modules (SFPs) are hot-swappable Ethernet interfaces that can be installed
directly into the Cisco Gigabit Ethernet high-speed WAN interface card. See Table 34 for SFPs
supported on the Cisco Gigabit Ethernet high-speed WAN interface card.
To install an SFP into the Cisco Gigabit Ethernet high-speed WAN interface card, perform the following
steps:
Step 1
Install the interface card in the router. (See Chapter , “Installing Cisco Interface Cards in Cisco Access
Routers.”)
Warning
Because invisible laser radiation may be emitted from the aperture of the port when no fiber cable is
connected, avoid exposure to laser radiation and do not stare into open apertures. Statement 125
Step 2
Slide the SFP into the housing on the interface card until it is locked into position. (See Figure 117.) The
SFP is designed to prevent improper insertion.
Tip
If the SFP uses a bale-clasp latch (see Figure 117 and Figure 118), the bale-clasp handle should be on
top of the SFP in the closed position for proper seating of the SFP module.

Connecting Cisco Gigabit Ethernet High-Speed WAN Interface
Cards to the Network
To connect the Cisco Gigabit Ethernet high-speed WAN interface card to the network, perform the
following steps:
Step 1
Warning
Confirm successful insertion of the SFP.
Because invisible laser radiation may be emitted from the aperture of the port when no fiber cable is
connected, avoid exposure to laser radiation and do not stare into open apertures. Statement 125
Step 2
Confirm that the router is powered down.
Step 3
Remove optical port plugs from the installed SFP.
Step 4
Use the appropriate cable (see Table 35) to connect to the installed SFP.
Note
For short distances or loopbacks, network installations using 1000BASE-CWDM and
1000BASE-ZX SFPs may require 15-dBm attenuators to avoid over-powering the connection.
Calculate the power budget for the connection to determine which attenuator to use.

3G Wireless WAN Interface Cards
Connecting an Antenna with the 3G Wireless WAN HWIC
REVIEW DRAFT—CISCO CONFIDENTIAL
Prerequisites for Connecting Antennas
This section contains information about connecting the antennas.
Note
Before you connect the antennas, install the 3G wireless HWIC in the router. See Chapter , “Installing
Cisco Interface Cards in Cisco Access Routers,” for more information.
In addition to antenna orientation, installation location with respect to other wireless equipment and
other RF noise sources, such as telecom and datacom equipment, plays a significant role in determining
overall network performance.
Because antennas transmit and receive radio signals, their performance can be adversely affected by the
surrounding environment, including distance between HWIC antenna and cellular base station, physical
obstructions, or radio frequency (RF) interference.
Follow these guidelines to ensure the best possible performance:
•
Wherever possible, mount the 3G wireless HWIC antenna away from physical obstructions. Barriers
along the line of sight between HWIC antenna and cellular base station will degrade the wireless
radio signals. The 3G wireless HWICs and antennas can be installed above floor level in office
environments or near the ceiling for better performance because most obstructions tend to be near
floor level.
•
The density of the materials used in a building’s construction determines the number of walls the
signal must pass through and still maintain adequate coverage. Consider the following before
choosing the location to install your antenna:
– Paper and vinyl walls have very little effect on signal penetration.
– Solid and precast concrete walls limit signal penetration to one or two walls without signal
degradation.
– Concrete and wood block walls limit signal penetration to three or four walls.
– A signal can penetrate five or six walls constructed of drywall or wood.
– A thick metal wall or a wire-mesh stucco wall causes signals to reflect back and causes poor
penetration.
•
Avoid mounting the antenna next to a column or vertical support that could create a shadow zone
and reduce the coverage area.
•
Keep the antenna away from reflective metal objects such as heating and air-conditioning ducts,
large ceiling trusses, building superstructures, and major power cabling runs. If necessary, use an
extension cable to relocate the antenna away from these obstructions.
Caution
Install the 3G wireless HWIC and any antennas away from appliances that share the same frequency
bands. Microwave ovens, cordless telephones, and security monitors can temporarily interfere with
wireless performance.
Caution
We recommend you avoid installing wireless antennas in or near rack-mounted installations that include
networking equipment and computer servers whose radiated noise emissions can severely degrade radio
performance.

If the desired installation site has a marginally acceptable level of radiated noise emissions, consider
using a remotely-mounted antenna, such as a wall-mounted or ceiling-mounted antenna, for better radio
performance and coverage.

Antenna Options
Connecting Swivel-Mount Dipole Antennas
If you are using Cisco swivel-mounted dipole antennas, follow these steps:
Step 1
Attach an antenna to each TNC antenna connectors on the front of the 3G wireless HWIC and tighten it
hand-tight.
Step 2
Orient the antennas, depending on how you intend to mount the router in which the 3G wireless HWIC
is installed.
Note
•
If the router is on a table or desk, orient the antennas to the left and right sides so that they are at a
90-degree angle to each other. (See Figure 131.)
•
If the router is on a vertical surface, such as a wall, orient the antennas up and at a 90-degree angle
to each other.
•
If the router is on a ceiling, orient the antennas down and at a 90-degree angle to each other.
Although it is not absolutely necessary, for best RF performance, do not attach the dipole antenna
directly to the face-plate of the 3G wireless HWIC. Use the antenna extension cable and antenna base
recommended for the product.

Faceplate-Mounted and Ceiling-Mounted Antennas and Cabling
Depending on the wireless environment, wall-mounted or ceiling-mounted antennas may be preferred
for optimum radio coverage. If the length of the coaxial antenna cable is insufficient to cover the distance
between the 3G wireless HWIC and the location of the installed antenna, you can use ultra-low-loss TNC
extension cables between the 3G wireless HWIC and the antenna cable.
RF energy is carried between the antennas and the radio equipment through a coaxial cable. An antenna
cable introduces signal loss in the antenna system for both the transmitter and the receiver. Although the
cable run can be 100 feet (30 m) or more from the 3G wireless HWIC to antenna locations, the longer
the cable run, the greater the signal loss. To reduce signal loss, minimize the cable length and use only
ultra-low-loss antenna cables to connect radio devices to antennas.
To connect faceplate-mounted or ceiling-mounted antennas, follow the installation instructions for your
antenna:

Connecting Radio Antennas to the Access Point HWIC
This section contains information about connecting the radio antennas.
Note
Before connecting the radio antennas, install the access point HWIC in the router. See Installing Cisco
Interface Cards in Cisco Access Routers for more information.
In addition to antenna orientation, wireless access point installation location with respect to all wireless
clients plays a significant role in determining overall network performance. Clients at the furthest
coverage points might have 10% to 50% of the bandwidth of clients close to it. Wireless network
coverage in one area or location might need to be lowered to improve the performance of other clients.
Because antennas transmit and receive radio signals, their performance can be adversely affected by the
surrounding environment including distance between access point and client, physical obstructions, or
radio frequency (RF) interference.
Follow these guidelines to ensure the best possible performance:
•
OL-12854-01
6
Wherever possible, mount the access point HWIC and antenna where the wireless devices would be
within sight and avoid physical obstructions. Barriers along the line of sight between client and
access point will degrade the wireless radio signals. access point HWICs and antennas can be
installed above floor level in office environments or near the ceiling for better performance since
most obstructions tend to be near floor level.
Access Point High-Speed WAN Interface Cards
Access Point High-Speed WAN Interface Cards
•
The density of the materials used in a building's construction determines the number of walls the
signal must pass through and still maintain adequate coverage. Consider the following before
choosing the location to install your antenna:
– Paper and vinyl walls have very little effect on signal penetration.
– Solid and precast concrete walls limit signal penetration to one or two walls without degrading
coverage.
– Concrete and wood block walls limit signal penetration to three or four walls.
– A signal can penetrate five or six walls constructed of drywall or wood.
– A thick metal wall or wire-mesh stucco walls causes signals to reflect back and cause poor
penetration.
•
Avoid mounting the antenna next to a column or vertical support that could create a shadow zone
and reduce the coverage area.
•
Keep the antenna away from reflective metal objects such as heating and air-conditioning ducts,
large ceiling trusses, building superstructures, and major power cabling runs. If necessary, use an
extension cable to relocate the antenna away from these obstructions.
Caution
Install the access point HWIC and any antennas away from appliances that share the same frequency
bands. Microwave ovens, cordless telephones, and security monitors can temporarily interfere with
wireless performance.
Caution
We recommend you avoid installing wireless antennas in or near rack-mounted installations that include
networking equipment and computer servers whose radiated noise emissions can severely degrade radio
performance.
Note
If the desired installation site has a marginally acceptable level of radiated noise emissions, consider
using a remote-mounted antenna, such as a wall-mount or ceiling-mount antenna, for better radio
performance and coverage.
Swivel-Mount Dipole Antennas
If you are using Cisco swivel-mount dipole antennas, follow these steps:
Step 1
Attach an antenna to each of the RP-TNC antenna connectors on the front of the access point HWIC and
tighten it hand-tight.
Step 2
Orient the antennas depending on how you intend to mount the router in which the access point HWIC
is installed.
•
If the router is on a table or desk, orient the antennas to the left and right sides so that they are at a
90-degree angle to each other. (See Figure 134.)
•
If the router is on a vertical surface, such as a wall, orient the antennas up and at a 90-degree angle
to each other.
•
If the router is on a ceiling, orient the antennas down and at a 90-degree angle to each other.

Cisco Multiband Swivel-Mount Dipole Antenna (AIR-ANTM2050D-R) document.
Wall-Mount and Ceiling-Mount Antennas and Cabling
Depending on the wireless environment, wall-mounted or ceiling-mounted antennas may be preferred
for optimum radio coverage. If the length of the coaxial antenna cable is insufficient to cover the distance
between the access point HWIC and the location of the installed antenna, you can use low-loss RP-TNC
extension cables between the access point HWIC and the antenna cable.
RF energy is carried between the antennas and the radio equipment through a coaxial cable. An antenna
cable introduces signal loss in the antenna system for both the transmitter and the receiver. Although the
cable run can be 100 feet (30 m) or more from the access point HWIC to antenna locations, the longer
the cable run, the greater the signal loss. To reduce signal loss, minimize the cable length and use only
low-loss or ultra low-loss antenna cables to connect radio devices to antennas.
Table 42 lists transmission loss information about low-loss and ultra-low-loss extension coaxial cables
available from Cisco. For more information about antenna cables, see the Antenna Cabling document.

Safety Warnings for Cisco T1/E1 HWICs
Safety Warnings for Cisco T1/E1 HWICs
The following safety warnings apply to installation procedures involving Cisco T1/E1 HWICs.
Translations of these warnings are available in the Cisco Network Modules and Interface Cards
Regulatory Compliance and Safety Information document, which is available online.
Warning
To avoid electric shock, do not connect safety extra-low voltage (SELV) circuits to telephone-network
voltage (TNV) circuits. LAN ports contain SELV circuits, and WAN ports contain TNV circuits. Some
LAN and WAN ports both use RJ-45 connectors. Use caution when connecting cables. Statement 1021
Warning
Hazardous network voltages are present in WAN ports regardless of whether power to the unit is OFF
or ON. To avoid electric shock, use caution when working near WAN ports. When detaching cables,
detach the end away from the unit first. Statement 1026
Cisco T1/E1 HWIC LEDs
T1/E1 HWICs have 2 LEDs for each port that indicate the functionality of the T1 or E1 connection.
Figure 0-138, Figure 0-139, and Figure 0-140 show the front panels and LEDs on the 1-port, 2-port, and
4-port HWICs, respectively. The LEDs are described in Table 0-46.
